Howard G. Mc Neil, (4012 Harlanwood Drive, Ft. Worth, TX 76109) would like to exchange information on the Valentines of Poughkeepsie, Dutchess Co., NY who migrated there about 1750 from Hamstead, LI, NY. There is a strong possibility that it could be Richard Valentine (58), bc 1702, son of Richard Valentine (12) and Mary Pearsall, who reportedly had nine sons and three daughters. It appears Joel Valentine and his brothers, John and Richard Valentine, Moved on to Nassau, Rensselaerwyck, Manor around 1785. The "Vollentines" resided on property leased on land near Nassau called Valties Kill. Copies of leases are on record at Albany Co., NY, for Benjamin and Richard Volentine. Benjamins lease oncluded 48 3/10 ths Acre; signed 7 Aug 1790. Joel Valentines brother, Richard Valentine leased some property adjoining Benjamin Valentines land. Richard signed an indenture for 126 € acres of land controlled by Rennsselaerwyck Manor on 28 Apr 1790. There is also reference to Richard Valentine in Mortgage book 5, p116, Albany Court Clerks Office, dated 26 Apr 1784 in which Joseph Valentine and his wife, Catharine, of Charlotte Precinct, Dutchess Co., NY, mortgaged their linds in New Concord, Albany County, NY for "267 good English guineas" to a Richard Valentine of Hamstead, Queens Co., NY, confirming the beleif that the family originated in Hampstead, NY. There is a Joseph Valentine on the 1790 Census at Cambridge Town, Albany Co., NY as having 2 m/over 16; 3 m/under 16 and 3 females. The 1800 NY Fed Cen Index lists Joel, John and Rochard Valentine at Rensselaer co., NY. In 1820, Richard Valentine (son of John) and Joel Valentine were at Nassau, Rensselaer Co., NY, and in 1830, Valentines at Rensselaer Co., NY were: Daniel, Isaac Valentine, John, Millesea, Sackett and Richard Valentine. Philip Valentine, bc 1733, of Poughkeepsie, Dutchess Co., NY, could possibly be the father of Joel, Richard and John Valentine. There is a Will for James Valentine, dated 26 Apr 1806, pr 19 June 1807, Dutchess Co., NY wills, p 94, in which he mentions his brothers, Philip and Richard Valentine. It has been definitely established that Joel Valentine, bc 1763, of Poughkeepsie, Dutchess Co., NY, had two known brothers; Richard Valentine, bc 1757; d 1813 at Nassau, Rensselaer Co., NY, and John Valentine, b 28 Feb 1761; d 14 Apr 1813, at the same place.
